421 dead center 1" away on the Ampeg 4x12 does it for me with the SVT4 with the Ultra Low and Ultra High engaged. Fat sound for Rock.

Hey, I don't know if I found some possible bugs: Helix Floor FW3.5 - In the new Dual Cabs: When I dragged the DELAY parameter WITH THE MOUSEWHEEL in HX Edit (Win11) on the second cab HX Edit instantly crashed and closed down. I could just reopen it right away and it was working again. If I dragged the DELAY parameter with just a click on the specific time I wanted or typed in my wanted time there were no problems. - Yesterday I was using the Helix without my PC and tried to put some FAVORTIES into a new patch. Everytime I tried to navigate to FAVORITES and clicked with the Joystick it automatically redircted me to MODULATION: MONO - STEREO. Tried it like 10 times after turning the Helix on and off, switching preses, switching setlists and so on. Then I did a short factory reset (9 and 10 whilst booting) and made 1 new favorite of a TS. It worked just fine again. I don't know if this has brought up the problem, but while it was hooked up to the PC yesterday I imported the "FAVORITE EFFECTS FREE PACK" by Worship Tutorials. These were the only favorites I had in my fav list.

Try Steve's Tube Comp trick. It's a really nice "spice". It's no "Helix just got 183837x better, bc I think my Helix is just good as it is", but it definetly makes it a tiny bit spongier and... You know the feel, that the strings just "stick with your fingers" in a good way? Solos just pour out like liquid honey. Definetly exaggerating here, but hey, give it a try! Other than Legacy Tube Comp I really like: Legacy Tube Drive: Just an awesome drive. Legacy Screamer: No explanation needed. Legacy Dimension: Instant 80s. Legacy Plate/Hall/Room Reverb: I can't hear the difference between them and the new ones anyway. And they are Stereo out of the box, so no "Why does my Room reverb sound so sh*t? Oh, it's Mono. Well...". And then I can dial in the Stereo version of the same reverb anew. I rarely use the new reverbs bc of this. Also they don't consume as much DSP and can be "squeezed in" in almost any DSP chain.

I can only answer for the HR112. For our gig 2 weeks ago one of our guitarists bought a HR112 as a monitor. We used it as a kind of "side-fill" to acompany the monitors blasting in our faces. As I stood on his side he just went and took the 2nd XLR out of my Helix Floor (1st XLR Out to FOH) and put it into his HR112. What can I say? His guitar(s) (Standard D to Drop A) as well as my five-string with some good bass distortion were awesome sounding. No mud. No nastyness whatsoever. BUT: We used it only for some monitoring. Could be in a band practice it can't sufficient bring the deep notes. Also note that we played Metal. Modern Metal, but not just "Chugga-Chugga". More of the "16th notes on bass throughout the song work grrrrreat". Could be with some slappy Funk it lacks the headroom. My opinion: It worked for me and I would definetly buy it if I need such a thing. Just try it and return it (if the stores at yours have this policy).

Cap? Cab? Did you forget a Cab Sim/IR going FRFr? Or did you use a Cabsim while going into an amp? No matter what sounds like a typical case of: My Presets from home sound awful in my band. That's why you don't finish your live/rehearsel presets at home. You dial them in as far as you need to and then you show up an hour earlier to tweak the Bejeezus out of it. Bonus points if the rest of the band shows up an hour earlier, too. Then you rehearse some wellknown songs and tweak as needed after each song. Your sound will thank you.

Looks KILLER! NICE! I dig PeterHamm's Pedalboard, too. Nice and Clean. The problem I had with using pedals BEFORE the Hd500 was always that I wanted to use the Pod's WahWah and I don't like the wah AFTER effects. Especially ODs and DISTs. I had an AMT P2 (5150 in a box) in the Loop but it didnt do well. I used it as amp model (by the time the HD500 had no 5150) and had it always on. So that the Loop itself made the on and off on the Pedal (you get what I mean?). Sadly in my case even when the Loop was OFF, but IN the whole Signal chain, there was humming and buzzing. Without loop everything was silent. So I had to rework that and since then I am not using pedals. I might look into a Chorus pedal again to put inbetween as I dont like the HD500 Chorus. A few months ago I experimented with a Harley Benton super Chorus pedal (Boss Knock Off i guess) and it sounded amazing. Unfortunatelly I was to lazy to build a whole pedalboard just for that anf also sold the pedal. Now seeing the Mooer pedals and their tiny space I guess I have to go back to the (pedalboard) planning board!

Hey meambobbo, maybe you should contact Mark Knopfler that you finally nailed/found his long forgotten tone he searched since 1985 ;) Great work there! Were you ever in the business of making patches by request? If yes, do you still? If no, why not? Start it! ;) I think every new package with the HD500X should have come with a printed out guide of yours! The REAL user manual.

I think I have a new fav amp. I fooled around with the 'ol J45 Brt. I have to say: WIth the Tube Driver in front it really roars. I have made an Dual Amp Patch based on yesterdays thread about the 5150 comparison. I tried the Tread 4x12 along with the SM57 on axis left and the 421 right. A rather obscure idea, but the modern Tread Cab compliments the rather bassy and Vintage sounding J45. Can someone tell me if it's any good, or just to my ears? http://line6.com/customtone/tone/1540110/

Which one are you meaning here? The Greenback one? That's one of my favourites, too. No matter what I do I always come back to the 'ol JCM800 + T75 Combo. Don't know why. Maybe because my first "real" amp was a 100watts JCM800 clone. + For Cleans 90% of the time the Fender "Double". Because I am lazy as lollipop, I don't give a F*** about my Clean tone and it's always the first in the list. Okay, It's also quite clean but has a bit of "filth" when you use higher output PUs (I'm using SD Sh5 and Sh4 and EMG85s). It does give a good Crunch sound, too, when bundled with a Tubescreamer.

Maybe the Boost Comp in stock settings. It boosts and fattens the amp a little bit, bit that's not bad in most cases (sure, I wouldn't use it for super clean) For super clean use the tube comp. Nice and warm sound.

Also lower the damn cabinet deep edit things to 0 (res, thump, etc). I am not angry to you, just to that darn cab edits. They lollipop up your sound. I promise. Have fun with ur new gear! *thumbsup*

Then there are things like the EHX Magnum 44 power amp. Costs roughly 120 €. Sounds great. Used it live. Everyone was amazed.

Is the Trio running running in front of the Pod or in the FX Loop? Then yes. Is it running AFTER the Pod: Nope, I don't think so. This is the scenario in which the Pod is your Interface. IIRC it only transmits everything in its signal path (up to your last block).

Well, isn't that exactly what the "Preset"-Mode in the PodHD does? Habe you tried it? If not, just long press "VIEW" and switch through the panels until the option comes on screen (Should already be the 1st or 2nd screen)

You clearly went off-topic there. But there's nothing to add to your comment. My next band will be on IEM, too. Doesn't matter how small or shallow the room is. I am fed up with lollipop on stage sound.
